When you burn a fuel in air you are converting chemical potential energy into thermal energy. The only energy input needed is to raise the fuel temperature to the ignition point. To obtain electromagnetic energy you have to drive a generator, which requires mechanical energy, so you have to use the thermal energy to drive a heat engine, a gas turbine is a good example.
Potential
Friction and burning fuel are similar in that they both involve the conversion of energy from one form to another. However, they differ in that friction typically involves the transformation of mechanical energy into heat, while burning fuel involves the chemical reaction of a fuel with oxygen to release energy in the form of heat and light.
Chemical energy stored in the fuel is transformed into heat energy through the process of combustion.
Burning release heat, for example.

The burning of fuel releases chemical energy in the form of heat and light.
The energy released by burning one kg of fuel can vary depending on the type of fuel. For example, burning one kg of gasoline releases approximately 43 MJ of energy, while burning one kg of natural gas releases around 50 MJ of energy.
A conventional fuel-burning power plant primarily consists of several key units: the boiler, where fuel is burned to generate steam; the steam turbine, which converts steam energy into mechanical energy; the generator, which transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy; and the condenser, which cools and condenses the steam back into water for reuse in the boiler. Additional components include fuel handling systems, air pollution control devices, and cooling systems to manage heat dissipation. Together, these units work in tandem to efficiently convert fuel into electricity.
